Three contrasting stories have just been added to the site.First up is The Gesture, a peculiarly Scottish romantic tale from surrogate Agony Aunt, Gurmeet Mattu.Then there's Bite, a poignant story by Pat Black which has featured in the Glasgow-based magazine, Letters from the City.Finally, acting as a counterpoint to these two, is a bitter and twisted piece from me called When You Stop Believing.

Yes, we do. Just uploaded are four new stories, all of them under a thousand words.Angus Shoor Caan begins the quartet with They Thought I Was Asleep, a tale about a strange gentleman of the road.In Asylum, Gurmeet Mattu takes an irreverent look at a particular asylum seeker.There's a piece of nostalgia from yours truly in When the World Changed.And all the way from Cyprus, Edinburgh-born writer Ron A. Sewell provides us with a timely reminder of the futility of war in Echoes from the Past.Enjoy!
